Rain has already played its part in the Indian Premier League 2026, and now the focus shifts to Guwahati, where Rajasthan Royals will take on Mumbai Indians at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, April 7.

The hosts RR are currently placed third on the points table with two wins in two games. They have looked like a complete side so far, delivering in all three departments. After a clinical win against CSK, they followed it up with a tight victory over GT, showing great composure under pressure.

MI, on the other hand, started well but suffered a setback against DC in their previous game. They will be eager to bounce back. Hardik Pandya missed that clash, which came as a big blow, but his return now looks very likely. With that, MI will be desperate to grab two important points in this contest.

Despite the excitement around the clash, the weather could have the final say again. Rain has been around in the northeastern region, and there will be some attention on conditions in Guwahati as well.

RR vs MI Weather Report on April 7

As per the forecast, the evening in Guwahati is expected to remain mostly clear. The temperature will be around 21°C, with the real feel also close to that mark. Winds will be light, blowing from the east-southeast at around 7 km/h, with occasional gusts up to 19 km/h.

Humidity levels will be on the higher side at 85%, which could make conditions a bit heavy for players. However, the probability of precipitation stands at just 14%, and no rainfall is expected during match hours. Cloud cover will be moderate, around 48%, and visibility should remain decent.

So, rain is unlikely to cause any major interruption in the RR vs MI game.

Barsapara pitch report

The surface at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium usually offers good support for batters. The ball comes nicely onto the bat, and once set, players can play their shots freely. However, with some cloud cover around and high humidity, there could be a bit of assistance for pacers early on.

If moisture builds up due to weather conditions, bowlers might get slight movement in the initial overs. But overall, it remains a venue where runs can be scored, especially once the ball gets older.

Dew could also become a factor later in the RR vs MI game, making it slightly difficult for bowlers to grip the ball. In that case, teams winning the toss might prefer to bowl first and chase under lights.
